Aims :

The course aims to introduce the students to the knowledge of naval constructions basic themes related to ship planning. Both the hull and propulsion system design and the interior and exterior plant problems will be explored.

Topics :

Introduction to ship planning: history of ship planning; innovative design techniques. Basic theory: shape measurements systems; keel geometry; motion resistance; hydrodynamics; hydraulic modelling; fluid dynamics; aerodynamics; ships statics. Architecture and logistics of shipyard. Naval constructions: knowledge of main construction techniques; extensive analysis of structures by means of non-invasive techniques. Naval sensors and safety: sensor analysis to improve the ships monitoring; sensors analysis to improve working conditions; systems analysis to supervise the structural conditions, the environmental worsening and the fluodynamic state of ship behaviour; development of integrated systems; development of monitoring systems. Instruments for ships control and standards: theory and applications of advanced numerical instruments; ships planning and maintenance; systems development in order to dampen noise and vibrations.
